Bethany's POV
My alarm clock sounds waking me from my slumber. I smack the top making it stop and sit up bleary eyed. I rub my eyes and then stretch trying to wake up. I barely remember Jason coming by last night, but I'm pretty sure he did. I stumble out of bed and jump in the shower to clean the sweat from my body and get ready for my day. Once dressed I head out into my kitchen to find me some breakfast. I see a note on the table and stop and pick it up.
"Bethany, I had an emergency with a client this morning. It was really early, and I didn't want to wake you. Don't worry I know how to take my own notes. Anyway, I left a stack of papers at your desk and my appointment book. If you take care of that I will see you later today. I'm not sure how long my meeting will take. Also, when I get back the insurance doctor needs to get some blood from you. See you soon. With Love, Jason." Ok so I'm on my own for awhile today. No big deal. I quickly eat then head to my car. Once at the office I see Mrs. White poke her head up from her desk.
"I see you are still here. That's good."
"So far so good. I'll see you later Mrs. White." I say waving and jumping on the elevator to ride to the tenth floor. Stepping out I head to my little office and grab the stack of papers and get to work. As lunch rolls around I just finished with the stack and decide to stand up and stretch taking a quick break before making all the calls needs to book appointments. Grabbing my pocketbook, I head to the elevator to run and get me something to eat. The elevator dings and the doors slide open revealing Mr. Walker.

"Ah great caught you just in time. I brought you some lunch. Come to my office and fill me in on your day while we eat." I nod and follow him to his office. He motions for me to sit on the couch and he sits beside me. He pulls out my favorite Chinese food. How does he know what I like?
"Wow thanks Mr. Walker I love Chinese. How did you know?" he smiled that damn sexy smile that has my core clenching. Damn it Bethany get your act together.
"I saw you had the menu on your fridge this morning when I dropped the note off and took a chance." Ok not what I thought. I forgot I had that menu. We sit and eat while I fill him in on the stack of paper and that I am about to make all of his appointments after we eat. He nods and listens smiling every once in a while. Just as I was finishing lunch a knock on the door comes. "Come in." Mr. Walker calls out. A man in a lab coat walks in with what looks to be all the stuff to draw some blood. "Ah yes Mr. Curt is here to draw some blood for the insurance company. We all have to do it when we first get hired." I nod my head and agree. I hate getting blood drawn but hey if I have to I will. The man walks over to me and takes my arm applying the tourniquet then cleans my arm with alcohol before sliding the needle into my vein. I watch as my arm pumps the blood out filling the tube quickly. After he finished, he applied a band aid and left the way he came.

"Well, that was easy." I say smiling at Mr. Walker. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have appointments to arrange. I walk back to my desk and start making calls. After a few hours I lean back in my chair with my eyes closed feeling exhausted. When I open my eyes, I nearly fall out of my chair seeing Mr. Walker standing in the doorway staring at me.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you Bethany." He gives me that damn panty dropping smile that sets my heart to flying. "I just want to see if you were almost done. You looked so peaceful that I didn't want to say anything till you opened your eyes." He crosses his arms over his chest making his muscles flex and strain against his shirt.
"Oh y-yeah I'm finished. I just needed to close my eyes for a second." I stutter out as my heart flies in my chest. I watch as he walks over and takes the seat in front of my desk leaning back and crossing his leg placing his ankle on his knee his hands he places behind his head. He looks like a damn Greek God. My damn mind starts racing with all the things I would like to do with him. I shake my head and mentally slap myself. He is your boss! "Ummm did you need something Mr. Walker?" He smiles even bigger showing his dimples. Holy Hell he is hot!
"I actually need you to come to a dinner with me tonight."
"Is it a work dinner?"
"Sorta, I told you if I don't have a date you might have to go with me. I have a dress already picked out for you and it's being dropped off at my house as we speak." I nod my head and wait for him to go on. "I have to see a few work friends of mine and I can't go without a date since they are already married. You understand don't you."
"Ok fine. What time is the dinner?"
"Eight tonight. If you have everything finished, you may head on home to get ready." I watch as he pulls a key from his pocket and slides it over to me. "The key to my house so you can get the dress." He stands up and walks to the door. "See you at seven thirty Bethany." He winks and heads back to his office. Well, I better head home and see what kind of dress he has picked out and get ready. I gather my stuff and head to the elevator heading for home.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
